Chapter 33
After receiving the order, everyone began to move step by step. Snow Cat and Black Wolf were lurking not far behind Puya and Cheetah, ready to provide immediate support if anything happened.
Everything was going so smoothly that everyone thought the exploration would be perfect—but an accident suddenly happened.
"Ah!!!" The hummingbird, which was shouldering an important mission, suddenly screamed and quickly covered its eyes.
The spirit form that had been hovering above the target location suddenly vanished, and the once flat grassland suddenly transformed. However, no one cared about the changes in the land at that moment. The most important thing was the hummingbird's condition—she began to release her Guidance Energy uncontrollably. A guide's spiritual image had a limited amount of Guidance Energy. If this situation continued, the ultimate result would inevitably be the exhaustion of Guidance Energy and the collapse of the spiritual image.
However, this is not the only thorny problem.
As if sensing the presence of a large number of strange guide elements next to the base, the unknown creatures that had been staying obediently in that land began to become restless, emitting more oppression similar to that of the guide elements. The concentration and intensity were so great that it even affected the sentries present.
"Puya, take Hummingbird and retreat!" Yan Xuanjin immediately issued an order, asking Puya to take Hummingbird back to the starship as soon as possible for treatment.
The departure of Hummingbird and Puya has put them under greater pressure in facing those unknown creatures, and without the help of an experienced guide, the next battle mission may be much more difficult.
The Cunning Rabbit is not very good at frontal combat. He is better at sneak attacks, and his own guidance element is also more of a stealth type. For the current situation, it is not very useful - now the only one who can cope with frontal combat is the Snow Cat.
Secretly, Yan Xuanjin didn't want Ling Yun to face this situation. This was his first time facing a real frontline, and dealing with the unfamiliar environment and the negative emotions brought on by the threat to his life was already exhausting. Now, let alone being asked to handle the crisis with the ease of a seasoned and highly skilled guide, he was truly a threat.
What should I do? Should I go back?
Yan Xuanjin is not someone who would easily change his decision, but this time he hesitated in a rare way.
"I can."
This is the sound of a snow cat.
The boy's clear voice came into his ears through the portable mecha, with confidence that was almost overflowing.
"Don't worry about me, I can do it. Isn't the purpose of coming here to give me experience?" Although he didn't know that there would really be unknown creatures similar to the Zerg here before coming.
Ling Yun stared straight at Yan Xuanjin with her pair of crystal sapphire eyes, and her firm gaze almost burned away the thought of retreat in his heart.
He is always like this.
Yan Xuanjin laughed, then straightened his face and announced to everyone: "Everyone, head towards the target location!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
…
The once lush green grass before him had turned a scorched brown, as if burned by a highly corrosive liquid. It lay withered and lifeless on the ground. A half-man-high hole had appeared out of nowhere in the ground, pitch black, seemingly unlit by the light from the stars outside.
Yan Xuanjin walked in front, Ling Yun followed behind him, and behind them were Cunning Rabbit, Cheetah and Mane Dog, who were the rear guard.
The group used the most standard stealth posture, step by step, and slowly stepped into the dark world.
